Chengdu is a bucket-list destination for anyone exploring China. It\u2019s often said that it\u2019s a city of contrasts: where famously fiery Sichuan cuisine<\/span> coexists with the placid rituals of teahouse culture; where thousand-year-old temples, alleyways and city walls sit steps away from glassy skyscrapers; and where the hum of traffic and packed shopping streets give way to one of the world\u2019s leading panda conservation bases.<\/div>\n

It\u2019s a city that truly has it all \u2013 and the same can be said for its hotels. Chengdu\u2019s luxury accommodation scene is among the strongest in the country, spanning sleek five-star business hotels, contemporary, design-forward stays, and award-winning mountain resorts.<\/p>\n
For first-time visitors wondering where to stay in Chengdu, some of the best areas include Jinjiang, the city\u2019s modern commercial heart; Wuhou, known for culture, shopping and food; and Qingyang, home to heritage sites and leafy neighbourhoods.<\/p>\n
Wherever you land, Chengdu has a way of pulling you in. Here\u2019s your guide to the best hotels across the city.<\/p>\n

Fans of Hong Kong\u2019s Upper House will feel right at home in its Chengdu counterpart. Formerly The Temple House, the five-star property has recently adopted a new name, though its spirit remains the same. You\u2019ll still find all the Chengdu-infused charm that defined the original concept: an exquisitely preserved Qing-era courtyard with landscaped terraces; a century-old main building framed by glass towers housing the modern suites; and a serene library stocked with art books<\/span> that honour the site\u2019s roots as a retreat for scholars.<\/div>\n

The hotel is steps from top Chengdu attractions like Daci Temple and the Taikoo Li shopping area, though you may be tempted to linger within its elegant walled confines. The hotel\u2019s Jing Bar is a chic, open-air hideaway overlooking a lush terrace, slinging mules spiked with mala-infused vodka. Below ground, the award-winning spa offers treatments inspired by local traditions, from heated bamboo-cane massages to antioxidant-rich tea-based facials.<\/p>\n
When it comes to dining, you\u2019re spoiled for choice \u2013 think Michelin-starred vegetarian cuisine at Mi Xun Teahouse or hearty, handcrafted Italian at the Black Pearl-certified Tivano.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
